How it works: This is your typical college bookstores. They sell all your textbooks, clothing, mugs, and a few novels.

Pros: You'll probably be able to find your textbooks here.
The store is neat, clean and orderly.

Cons: The prices are higher than anywhere else in town.
The lines are atrociously long during the first week of school.
When it comes to students, their customer service is worse than indifferent. (For example, they were out of my husband's textbook so he ordered it in. They guaranteed it by a certain date, but it came WELL after the promised-by date and WELL after the test for which he had needed the book. They then required us to buy the book anyway.)
